Kiosk mode in NG Client

Hi,

We need to run a Servoy solution with NG Client in kiosk mode and we can not find a way to do that. The use case is to run the browser with the solution in a way the user can not add new tabs or change the URL or go to other apps in the desktop. The solution runs on a touch screen and the idea is to only run that solution.

Any ideas on how to set the browser in kiosk mode (F11), maybe with some external tool?

Regards,

Hi,

In Windows with Google Chrome, create a shortcut for Chrome and in the target add -kiosk and then the address
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” -kiosk www.servoy.com

Firefox and Edge also run in Kiosk mode, a quick google will give you the details on those browsers.

Not sure about MAC……………

Hi Richard,

I tried (with the same command you put) and it is not working, it just loads the page with all the tabs on it and you can still move to other tabs or go out the browser.

And what about NG Desktop (Electron)?

Hi,

I found this happens if the browser is already open, with the browser closed when run from the shortcut it works fine for me.

Hi Richard,

NG Desktop does not let us put full screen or kiosk mode, I created an issue for that. I will try with a shortcut, with the command does not work.

Worked! With a shortcut with the browser not running works fine.

Thank you!
